newbie who needs alot of help.

im new to android and im wanting to customize my captivate. i have launcher pro plus and ive tried to download a few icons and it says it cant open the file. the main one i remember doing is the silver ring on the birdman icons. can anyone help me to like a how to of some sort on how to get things going in the right direction or something.

Well i would start by rooting your phone. Im not sure but i think alot of themes ans icon packs require root. I am on my phone now so cant post links for you. But look for the one click app. Its easy to do.

i rather not root is there somethings i can do without rooting right now.

There is an app on the market called launcher pro icons. You have to pay for it but it is relatively cheap. Here is a sample
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Captivate
Cog 2.4

[MOD] Reboot Option

Let me know if you want this!
I will be writing up a script that will backup your app and framework directory if I get enough responses to all these mods!

Of course we all want this. Looks good. Makes me miss my Captivate less.

I am interested as well.
Before using it.. I better look up instructions on how to properly backup my phone..

Yes, please.

A backup script would be nice (and necessary) as well.

Android 2.3 complete look with Cyanogenmod 7

Many of you unaware that the look of Cyanogenmod 7 doesn't represent the look of Android 2.3, with only the top bar looking like it did in 2.3 the rest is ADWLauncher, So with ADWlauncher ex you can customize the look more, And what i'm after is the remaining 2 things i need.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the dock isn't really the same as it is in 2.3 so anyone out there with the right file?
Also the drawer icon is low quality, all i need are those 2 items, please help me find them.

Did you try just taking the images directly out of a Gingerbread launcher.apk?
While I'm here, love the use of the new Chrome icon for the browser - would you mind uploading it?
EDIT: After fishing through a Gingerbread launcher.apk, it seems the dock background is actually made of multiple images, since there's no single .png for it. The app drawer icon's an easy find, though. I'll upload the apk for you.

Have you thought of using the gingerbread launcher instead of adw.?

I know what you mean dude, and i agree but also you do get a lot more in the way of customization with ADW...then again there IS a Gingerbread theme on the market for it :S why bother with this?

Not bad, considering you're only using paint for this.
A few enhancement can be done though, try lighten up the white a bit and make it smoother.
And if you have a spare time, I highly advice you to use or at least learn the basics of Photoshop since it's the best application you can use for this type of work, though you are only trying to create a single icon, trying Photoshop wouldn't hurt so I say try it at least. It's not that hard if you think it is, YouTube is always there for online tutorials w/c is where I actually learned on how to use photoshop.

thanks for the tips
i ended up making the color version so i dun have to deal with the black and white brightness hassle, look good as well, using the original author provided icon base

[HTC ONE] Notification Toggles

Hello fellow people,
So yeah I'm asking it right out:
Is there any way how to get the TouchWiz Notification Toggles (Including the brightness bar)

onto my HTC One?
I looked up a bit in the Internet but im not quite sure if I got the right terms for searching this up.
My Android knowledge in it is good at all.
I'm looking for methods that don't require root but if there is only a root method please tell me too.

i don't think that TouchWiz will be ported on HTC One
and BTW why you want to ditch Sense? :

I like my HTC One just how it is but there are these practical toggles that could fullfill it for me even more.
But if theres no way it's sad but okay.

You are aware that Sense has toggles as well, right? Swipe down and press the button on the top right. This has a much coarser grain brightness control though. Or otherwise install one of the many notification toggle apps
